— Has the Dolphins’ secondary improved enough with some of the league’s top quarterbacks on the slate?

AFC East Power Rankings

1. New England Patriots — Tom Brady will still make it look easy with receivers most fans have never heard of.

2. Miami Dolphins — If the Patriots do slip this season, the Dolphins — on paper, at least — appear to be the most likely suitor to take over the reigns in the division. But there is so much this team must prove.

3. Buffalo Bills — The Bills have more talent than many give them credit for. Playing Buffalo twice isn’t the guaranteed sweep some Dolphins fans think it is.

4. New York Jets — The Jets are a mess on offense, but I’ll stop short of calling them the worst team in football. The defense is capable of keeping games competitive.
